Chapter 1160 Youzhou Camp
Youzhou Camp was composed of Khitan horses obtained by Li Jia from the Northern Han Dynasty, as well as the imperial guards and imperial camps of the Northern Han Dynasty, with about ten thousand cavalry.
In the Tang Dynasty, the ones approached the heavy cavalry were Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry in the early Tang Dynasty. However, the cavalry in the pre-Tang Dynasty did not allow horses to wear armor for speed, and the impact was far inferior, but they were still crushed when they fought against the Turks.
The real heavy cavalry also got the Western Xia and Iron Harriers, which abused the Northern Song Dynasty very much. At that time, the Khitans were very envious, so they asked for iron armor from the Western Xia and formed their own Iron Formation Army.
The Liao people's Iron Lin army was not only equipped with the Western Xia iron armor, but also prepared the Song people's cavalry crossbows, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.
However, the later armament was abandoned, and the Jin people's Iron Pagoda was only able to finish the deceased.
In Youzhou Camp, the people and horses had iron armor. The cavalry held half a meter-long iron hook in their hands, with iron helmets, exposed their eyes, and heavy horse hooves, constantly stepping on the ground, stirring up a large amount of sand and gravel.
The existence of three horses saves a lot of physical strength for the war horse under his crotch. Now when charging, the war horse is full of energy and gallops, like a heavy tank, moving forward.
The heavy cavalry has a small field of vision, so they cannot fight in close combat, so they can only charge, charge, and then charge.
Yang Shifan didn't think too much about it, and he organized a formation. The Youzhou Camp that charged was needed to maintain the formation, so as to form a crushing situation and move forward.
Forty thousand cavalry charged forward desperately. The light cavalry were driving war horses while shooting arrows, with unstable ups and downs and large scale, and the rain of arrows fell, making the Khitans breathless.
Faced with this, the Khitans did not hesitate and shot with their bows. In terms of riding, they were more accurate than the Han people, especially the Bohai people, who were famous for their shooting skills.
"Dangdang--" Continuously, arrows were thrown towards the Tang cavalry, most of which were blocked by armor. Only then did the Khitans see clearly that the Tang people in front of them were almost armored.
"Shooting horses-" A Khitan officer saw that things were not good, and immediately shouted: "The Tang people are wearing too many armors, so they shoot the war horses under their crotch."
Soon, many arrows rushed straight to the horses.
The Tang cavalry suffered heavy losses in an instant, and the war horses could not stop wailing.
"Just rush over!" Officers at all levels kept instructing. Thanks to the popularization of military academies, the quality of officers continued to improve, and under their comfort, the soldiers also stabilized.
However, after all, the Tang cavalry had the advantage. The more they fought, the less they were, and the arrows were not as accurate as the Khitan cavalry. It didn't matter, just rely on the more people and arrows to crush them.
As time went by, the distance was closer, and both sides almost killed each other face to face, and cavalry were constantly falling off their horses, and a large number of empty horses also marched with the cavalry.
The heights of the close-range chops, swords and war horses are almost the same. The advantage of the Tang cavalry is armor, while the Khitans rely on their horse skills to kill each other for a while, and it is difficult to distinguish.
"Ding--" A machete slashed at the body, revealing a white dot. Hu Yanzan looked up and saw that it was a tall Khitan. He roared angrily, then waved his horse spear and picked it directly: "Damn the Khitan dog--"
Immediately, the Khitans in front of him were picked up, Hu Yanzan continued to wave, and the guards behind him came over like wolves and tigers, and the surroundings were instantly empty.
"You--" Hu Yanzan was furious as soon as he saw that the Khitans had disappeared, and he was instantly angry: "How can I kill the enemy?"
But the personal guards do not care about it, and the general dies, and their personal guards will also have to pay their lives and must not let them take risks.
The two cavalry converged with each other, the Tang cavalry was black and red, while the Khitans were mostly white. Such entanglements were not clear for a while.
The Tang army was preparing to encircle the Khitans with their superior forces, but the Khitans were not willing to be outdone and fought head-on, but instead gained the upper hand. The cavalry had strong mobility and was not easy to encircle during combat, and even faced the threat of being defeated.
The scene was so anxious. At this moment, the ground suddenly began to vibrate more in a wider range, and the roar was constantly approaching, which made Hu Yanzan and others happy: "It seems that Youzhou Camp has finally arrived."
Liu Guangyi looked at the distance with a bright look: "I want to see, the Youzhou Camp, which was built with a lot of money, is so powerful after all!"
"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Before the people arrived, the sound came, and a row of black shadows were constantly approaching, rushing like waves, and the heavy horse's hooves made people's heart beat faster.
"What the hell did the Tang people do?" The Khitans were shocked and looked at the Tang cavalry who were constantly giving up space, and they really couldn't think of anything in their hearts.
However, the Youzhou Camp did not give them much time to think. The heavy cavalry wrapped in armor all over their bodies looked forward at the velocity of unyielding.
Before the Khitans in front could react, they were hit by a huge iron wall, and they were knocked away by people and horses, and then trampled on by horse hooves and turned into meat paste.
Many Khitan cavalry faced up over their own abilities, but they were knocked away like a mantis armed with a chariot, falling into pieces and never shook their speed.
"Crazy--"
The impact of iron armor, the collision of weapons, the heavy impact, the friction of war horses, and various sounds came out on the battlefield, and even sparks could be seen vaguely.
Youzhou Camp was silent, but rushed forward, desperately, like a dirt crusher, crushing all obstacles on the road. Whether it was a war horse or a human, they could only turn into meat paste.
The Khitans had never seen heavy cavalry, nor had they fought, and they collided suddenly, causing heavy losses.
Countless cavalry were destroyed and destroyed, and the Youzhou camp seemed to be a man-eating giant beast, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Kill--" Yang Shifan was excited, waving his long sword and roared. Then, thousands of cavalrymen cooperated with the roar, and the momentum shook the entire battlefield.
The Youzhou Camp seemed to be a hammer, directly knocking the Khitan formation to sunken and deforming, and even causing the Khitans to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
There are still people who do not believe in evil, relying on their strength, gritting their teeth and rushing up.
I saw a sabre that instantly slashed the horse's head. Then, the war horse was unbalanced, and the man fell down, with his armor on the ground.
In his incredible eyes, countless horse hooves crossed his iron armor, one, two, and countless dull sounds sounded in his ears, and he could not feel the pain at all and lost consciousness.
"Crack--" At this time, his neck tilted. In his last aftermath, countless horse hooves passed, the earth was in a mess, and the warriors on the grassland were already defeated and fled in panic.
The whole earth seemed to have been baptized and full of silence.
